Photograph of the day - Nature series

This photograph was taken in the aquarium near Kallada Hydro-electric Dam in Thenmala, Kerala. Somebody should volunteer to tell which type of fish this is. The exposure was long (not recorded) and lightness of camera made the task of capturing image difficult. The image is processed in Microsoft Photo-editor for colour saturation and hue and in Picasa to add glow. The resolution of the photograph is limited.

The Fish and the Chick

Thirukalukundram is also known as Pakshi Teertha.




The purpose of posting these photographs is to bring to everybody's notice that even the holy places like Pakshi Teertha are not spared by the pollution of ponds that is posing danger to the natural habitat. Dead fish is the result of the pollution. The sache of shampoo is an evidence (one among many) of carelessness shown by people that leads to deterioration of water quality leading to death of the aqatic vertaebrates.
